Yeah, I'd considered this myself and was going to implement it but after
mentioning it in FreeBSD-mobile I got response saying it was a bit
overkill (which, it would have been).  Right now I've just got that code
commented out in my login.c.  The comment above the code says something
along the lines of ``PAM may allocate more groups'' - I think that means
that it provides the membership to all of the required groups.  For me
(at the moment) this is not an issue so I have now just compiled with
that code disabled.  It works perfectly but I really want to know what
it's doing exactly, and whether it _should_ be causing a hang.

  Many thanks for your response,

 That plus amd(8) should, in theory, get you a relatively stateless NFS
 connection.

I must admit, I've never worked with amd but it may be worth a try -- it
can't be any worse than the situation I'm in at the moment.  Thanks for
bringing it to my attention ;)

 I've had some success using 'umount -f' to forcibly umount NFS filesystems,
 from the client side, in the past.

This surprised me.  I had assumed a forced umount would actually force
the umount, yet, it seems not to have done.  I am confuzed as to what is
and what isn't a bug (often I'm screwing things up myself, I'm sure).
Do you think this would count as a bug?  If other people have had
problems too, it almost suggests it might be.

 However, NFS, while stateless in intent, is really not a good
 infrastructural element for a plug-and-play network. Plugging in is easy;
 unplugging may require an explicit shutdown to properly deallocate
 resources.

Yeah, I'm starting to learn this now.  I don't really know what else to
use.  I've heard of CODA and even AFS but I don't know their suitability
to my purpose.  I think I might do a bit more research then ask again on
this list.

  Thanks for your information, I'll go read about amd ;)

Hi Again

Thanks for the reply .. :)

Yes you are right i dredged up some old jail questions in
freebsd-questions mailing lists from google :)

I still seem to have the prob with no rl0 interface in the jail ..
and cannot make any outbound conection from inside the jail.

I am running ipf with default block from the kernel
but allow all packets in and out from rl0 lo0

Is there a good doc on jail setup or troubleshooter on the www that
anyone knows of ?

Ahh, sorry.  I missed this question.  The way I have it setup is using
NAT and a gateway.  If you're using the same IP in the jail as your host
environment you don't need the NAT -- just set the host up as a gateway
and then in the jail add a default route pointing to the host.  This way
all traffic goes through the host.  If you're using different IPs though
you'll need to start using NAT to rewrite the packet headers.  All of
this stuff can be found in the handbook (although I doubt whether it
mentions it specifically about jails).

Yes, you need to configure the pipe to *do* something.. otherwise it's a
pipe that just collects packets :-)
you can do it in two commands like this:

  ipfw add 100 pipe 1 ip from 192.168.1.5 to any
  ipfw config pipe 1 bw 0

'bw 0' means tuse unlimited bandwidth (ie, all your availible bandwidth).
You can change this to a different amount, eg to limit to 5Kbytes/s:

  ipfw add 100 pipe 1 ip from 192.168.1.5 to any
  ipfw config pipe 1 bw 5KBytes/s

Packets should then flow through naturally.

Yesterday I checked the drive ad6 with the Drive Fitness Test program from IBM.
Both quick and advanced test returned that the drive is ok. I then ran the test
against ad0 (the backup drive): the quick test showed that the drive was
defective because of Excessive Shock. Re-executing the test gave same result.
I rebooted the system and disabled the S.M.A.R.T. option for the drive attached
to the motherboard's controller (i.e. the backup drive). Re-executing the quick
test showed that the drive is ok!

After 16 hours of uptime and one level-0 file system dump all drives are still
using UDMA100.

If for some reason the system will fall back again to PIO4 mode I will try to
remove the two following options from the kernel:

# ISA optimization

options AUTO_EOI_2


If the problem won't still be solved then I will try in order the following:
- disable tagged queuing
- buy different hardware!

If you read a little more carefully, you'll see that those posts
aren't talking about quite the same things.  In fact, they're both
correct; you can't copy an audio cd by dd'ing the whole disk, but you
can do that for a data disk.  For audio disks, you either need another
program that understands audio cd format, or (with ATAPI cd drives
only, I believe) you can use the acdxty format, on a
track-by-track basis.

Network cards for a firewall server?

Hello everyone

I am trying to build a firewall server with FreeBSD 4.7, but I'm having some problems 
with the network cards.

When I install it with two Netgear FA-310TX network cards, I get the dc0: watchdog 
timeout messages.

If I try two Intel PRO/100 cards, I get the fxp0: DMA timeout and fxp0: SCB 
timeout messages.

Searching the mailing lists the problems for both these types of cards seems to be 
reasonably well known. I tried moving the cards around the
PCI-slots, but without any success.

Anyone who can recommend network cards with less problems for a firewall server (or 
knows the solution to these problems).

What motherboard are you using? Can you post each card's dmesg entries

Initially, you might want to ensure that the P 'n P OS options in the
BIOS settings are disabled.

Currently the FA310-cards are installed.

The mobo is the last versio of Abit BE6-II, (with a PIII 850MHz).

It starts with the message:
dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state, then the dc0: watchdog timeout 
messages starts showing up.

PnP is disabled in BIOS.

From dmesg I have:
dc0: 82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX port 0xc400 - 0xc4ff mem 0xd3402000 - 0xd34020ff irq 
11 at device 9.0 on pci0
dc0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:cc:d5:b2:e3
dc1: 82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX port 0xc800 - 0xc8ff mem 0xd3403000 - 0xd34030ff irq 5 
at device 11.0 on pci0
dc1: Ethernet address: 00:a0:cc:d5:dd:c8

Thanks for a quick reply.
Magnus

Check out the FreeBSD handbook.  The section on using CVSup talks about
the various tags you can use for ports...they are intuitive.  So instead
of ports-all tag, you might put ports-mail in your cvsup file.

Postfix vs. Sendmail

So mx1.freebsd.org itself runs Postfix, but yet, sendmail is still so
embedded in FreeBSD that it's almost imposible to get cleaned out.  When
are they going to make the FreeBSD install configurable enough to not have
to include sendmail, bind, openssl, etc?  I choose to either install these
apps as ports, or not at all.

Is there a way to break down the install, and just get a bare bare bare
bones install of just base, crypto and man pages, like the install says
it's going to do?  I can't imagine this would be too hard to do!

If anyone has any information about the future plans on changing the
install process, I'm all ears.

Thanks.

FreeBSD sees the nics okay enough.., What do you have in /etc/rc.conf

Also, exactly *when* do these messages appear? Do the nics start okay,
then lock-up?

Check for IRQ conflicts, and, as this appears to happen with two sets of
nics, you can't rule out physical network problems - check cabling, etc.

RE: Selecting a specific list of ports to update

Yes, I have been through all that, and I do right now just do a couple
of the specific branches, but even that is more than I really want.  I'm
talking about being able to do something like

ports-security-openssl
ports-security-openssh
ports-net-bind9
ports-mail-postfix
ports-www-apache13

And have it just updates those specific apps, not the whole branch.  I
realize that I can just download the individual ports I want, and
install them, without using cvsup, but I like being able to leave it in
my cron, and have them update automatically, and tell me when there are
new versions of just the apps I run, not every mail app out there.

Thanks.

Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image

2003-01-05 Thread William Coles

Greetings,

I'm new to the list and new to FreeBSD. Here is my situation:

I have downloaded the 4.7-mini iso from one of the ftp sites. I have
extracted the file and burnt it onto a cd-rw as a data cd (ISO) using nero.
I am trying to install FreeBSD from this disc, but am having difficulty. A
little more background on my current system config... I am running win2k pro
(NTFS), which is dedicated to one of my hard drives. I have freed up another
hard drive (3 GB) to install nix. I changed my BIOS settings to boot from
CD, restarted and... the system boots into windows. I feel I'm just
overlooking a simple detail, but I'm not familiar enough with FreeBSD yet to
understand what I need to do to install. I have read the eratta.txt,
readme.txt and the install.txt, but can't seem to find what file is the
actual install file, or how I can go about installing from the CD onto my
available drive? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

RE: Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image

The problem may not be BSD.  You say you have changed your BIOS to boot
the CD, but have you verified that any other bootable CDs work?  Like
your original windows CD?  Also, do you have another machine you could
check to verify that the FreeBSD CD is bootable?  If not, I would check
your ISO burning process to make sure it's working correctly.

Re: Cyrus-SASL and OpenLDAP

2003-01-05 Thread Goedeke Michels

Depends on your needs. Do you need LDAP as a SASL backend ? Most likely 
not. You probably want LDAP to make use of SASL, not the other way 
round. So you build SASL first and then LDAP. You can't have it both 
ways, I believe.

RE: Selecting a specific list of ports to update

That would be perfect!  If anyone has any ideas on setting that up, I'm
all ears.  Perhaps a custom version of cvsup...Someone have nothing
better to do this week? ;)  Although, it would be nice to have something
like this for the src tree too.  For example, I choose to install bind9
from the port, not from the src tree, and would rather that cvsup not
update bind in the src tree, and that buildworld ignore it.  I know that
you can get make.conf to ignore bind, but this to me is the clumsy way.
You shouldn't have to specifically tell the compiler to not build
something, I would rather tell it what to build...

RE: Cyrus-SASL and OpenLDAP

I supposed, I guess my curious mind was pondering actually playing with
how to use LDAP as a back end to SASL, since LDAP is my authoritative DB
for many of my apps.  I think you are right though, I should just
install SASL, then LDAP, and get over it.  Interesting that these two
apps would put themselves into this co-dependant state.

Re: Network cards for a firewall server?

Hi


Yes, this is the 4.7 GENERIC kernel, and according to LINT, PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES is 
compiled into the kernel.

In /etc/rc.conf I have:
ifconfig_dc0 = inet numbers.of.my.public.ip-address netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig_dc1 = inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

It is after these statements are executed that I start seeing the reported messages, I 
have to do CTRL-C to even get to login prompt.

IRQ 11 is also used by the SCSI-controller, removing that controller completely 
doesn't make any difference, still the same messages.
IRQ 5 is also used by the USB-controller on the mobo.

If I hook up the same cables to another box, there are no problems.

Thanks again

you should have only burned the iso file from nero and not extracted it.
extracting it would give you the files but not the boot info and

 IRQ 11 is also used by the SCSI-controller, removing that controller completely 
doesn't make any difference, still the same messages.
 IRQ 5 is also used by the USB-controller on the mobo.

Been googling and found the following information:

You might want to look into whether or not you are able to ensure unique
IRQ values for each attached PCI device as a start.

Also (and this is something becoming more prevalent now) you need to
determine if the FA310TX requires a bus-mastering PCI slot in order to
function.. As such, you'd want to check with the BE6-11's manual to hwo
this is organized amongst the available slots. For most boards (should
there be only one) slot 1 is usually the slot that does this.

 If I hook up the same cables to another box, there are no problems.

  -Daniel

 Check out the FreeBSD handbook.  The section on using CVSup talks about
 the various tags you can use for ports...they are intuitive.  So instead
 of ports-all tag, you might put ports-mail in your cvsup file.

 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html#CVS
 UP-CONFIG-FILES

 Yes, I have been through all that, and I do right now just do a couple
 of the specific branches, but even that is more than I really want.  I'm
 talking about being able to do something like

 ports-security-openssl
 ports-security-openssh
 ports-net-bind9
 ports-mail-postfix
 ports-www-apache13

 And have it just updates those specific apps, not the whole branch.  I
 realize that I can just download the individual ports I want, and
 install them, without using cvsup, but I like being able to leave it in
 my cron, and have them update automatically, and tell me when there are
 new versions of just the apps I run, not every mail app out there.

 Thanks.

 -Daniel

You could use portupgrade with the --noexecute option to figure out
which ports have a newer version.  There may be a better way, but a line
like:

# portupgrade --noexecute openssl* | grep Upgrading
---  Upgrading 'openssl-0.9.6g_1' to 'openssl-0.9.6h' (security/openssl)
#

...let's you know that you could upgrade from your current version of
0.9.6g_1 to 0.9.6h.  You could use this output to do various things.
Alternatively, but maybe not wisely, if you want specific ports to be
updated unconditionally via a cron job just use an appropriate
portupgrade command in your script.

burncd -f /dev/acd0c -smax -d audio track1.raw track2.raw ...

the CD to work.

But ... I only did it this way because cdda2wav, cdrdao, grip, etc,

For the original poster - cdrdao has a copy option that you might
find easier to use than cdda2wav.  I don't think you'll see much of
a difference in the resultant CD, though.

  For some reason my xterm seems to have broken.  I'm sure it was
working perfectly well earlier on today but now I can't run xterm
without it disappearing/closing.  It doesn't even show up in a ps aux so
it appears it's just started then closed.  Only root is able to start an

with respect to installing freebsd on a computer

2003-01-05 Thread root



This is a request for help made after extensive efforts to install freebsd on  
my computer, and only after having tried almost everything, i was wondering 
if you have any suggestions.
Firstly, may I say what my system is., below:

maxtor 6Y120LO hardrive
sis 5513 chipset
sis 5513 ide controller
hda maxtor 6y120l0 ata disk drive
bus pci
sis648  ATA  133 controller
 I also get the message in the boot messages, (not 100% native, will probe 
later) if this is of any moment
May I say I am using Suse linux as my main operating system and hope to multi 
boot from a choice of systems, so far I have had no problem, Debian installed 
superbly as well.
I have Windows xp on the first partition, the unices behind it, (I am no fan 
of wondows! )
I don't know if any of this will help solve the problem, I have experimented 
with several parameters, using thre kernal configurator, and wonder if the 
disk controller I am using is compatable with freebsd.
Any help with this would be greatley appreciated.

Many thanks,

Nick

its host name forcefield.visimation.com?), and why is it not finding it?
Shouldn't it use the hosts file first for name resolution?  In my

You might want to check for the following (presuming that you're not

1] That there are no IRQ conflicts with this device
2] Make sure that the P 'n P OS option in the BIOS is disabled

know when the port has been updated. (you still have to manually download the
port, or update your tree)

This seems correct. My CDROM drive is SCSI, and the
...devicettrack notation does not work. What I've done is
installed tosha from the ports. It can read audio files from the CD and
write them to the hard disk. Works great, and it's nice that most of the
options default to what I want :^)

 Yes, sort-of.  For example, I just copied an audio CD by doing
 
 dd if=/dev/acd0t1 of=track1.raw bs=2352
 dd if=/dev/acd0t2 of=track2.raw bs=2352
 [...]
 burncd -f /dev/acd0c -smax -d audio track1.raw track2.raw ...
 
 But (at least I found that) it didn't produce a completely correct audio
 CD; there's something fishy with the TOC, I think.

I had trouble with that usage as well. The resulting CD would not
*start* playing in my audio CD player, but gave me a flashing 00:00 on
the front panel. If I fast-forwarded enough to get past the beginning of
the first track, it was fine. I was able to get a proper CD by not using
DAO, thusly:

burncd -f /dev/acd0c -s 40 audio track1 track2 track3 track4 fixate

It seems like it should be possible to pipe the output of tosha into
burncd, but I have not experimented with this yet; just bought the
burner yesterday.

Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image

2003-01-05 Thread William Coles

-Original Message-
From: William Coles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Sent: Sunday, January 05, 2003 6:02 PM
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: RE: Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image

Hello,

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions so far. I'm still having trouble, but
I'm determined to figure this thing out! I can't wait to be running FreeBSD.
Here is what I have tried so far:

As per Daniel's suggestion, I verified that other bootable CD's work on my
system, which they do. I was able to boot using an old Slackware 7.0 CD I
have. Daniel also suggested that maybe the issue has something to do with my
ISO burning process. I think that is exactly where the problem is, so I'm
trying to get it right.

As Dzokayi suggested, I made sure I burned the file as an image and didn't
just burn the file as is to the CD-RW. The original file I downloaded from
the FTP site came compressed as a WinRAR archive. After downloading it, I
extracted it to my HDD. In windows, it shows all kinds of folders (i.e. bin,
boot, catpages, etc). The files themselves are not readable in windows,
obviously, because they are made with a different file system.

Then I followed the suggestion given by Laszlo, which was to burn the actual
archive without extracting it. Fortunately, I saved the original file so
this was easy enough to do. But...it didn't work either. After burning the
4.7 mini.iso (compressed WinRAR) file, putting the CD in the tray and
rebooting...nada, hangs on 'booting from ATAPI CD'

Lastly, I realized that I have been burning data CD's and that Nero had an
option for burning bootable CD's. Duh! So I went back to Nero and started
over. The problem I'm running into now is that when I create a new
compilation in Nero to set up a bootable CD, Nero gives two choices to pick
from the source of boot image data; a) a bootable logical drive (must be
under 650 MB, which I don't have) and b) an Image File. When I click on the
browse button to select an image file, Nero only wants to look for files
with the extension of .ima. I'm thinking that the file I downloaded from the
FTP site is indeed an image file, no? What I'm going to try next is to
rename the archive file I downloaded to end in .ima and burn it. There is
also a field to choose a type of emulation. The choices are Floppy, Hardisk
or No Emulation. I have been choosing No Emulation, as per the Nero manual,
this is for bootable installation CD's (i.e. what I'm trying to make). Any
further suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Bill (one day running BSD)

RE: Selecting a specific list of ports to update

Right, I use pkg_version for tracking what I have installed, vs. what
the latest is.  I appreciate everyone's help on this one, but I think
I'm being misunderstood.  I really just wanted to know if there was a
way to get cvsup to be more specific, and in fact there isn't.  I would
like to maintain a local cvs tree of just a hand full of specific apps.
I have no need for 99% of the ports currently available, and just wanted
to find a better, cleaner way to deal with this.  Someone responded with
use CVS directly, not cvsup.  So, I think I'm going to go ahead and
write my own script, to read a config file with a list of apps, and pull
their directories.  Unless someone has already done this.  I may well
write something to cvsup, since I have a feeling I'm not the only person
that would benefit from a tool that will go just one level deeper in
syncing

Thanks.

 Check out the FreeBSD handbook.  The section on using CVSup talks
about
 the various tags you can use for ports...they are intuitive.  So
instead
 of ports-all tag, you might put ports-mail in your cvsup file.

 Yes, I have been through all that, and I do right now just do a couple
 of the specific branches, but even that is more than I really want.
I'm
 talking about being able to do something like
 
 ports-security-openssl
 ports-security-openssh
 ports-net-bind9
 ports-mail-postfix
 ports-www-apache13
 
 And have it just updates those specific apps, not the whole branch.  I
 realize that I can just download the individual ports I want, and
 install them, without using cvsup, but I like being able to leave it
in
 my cron, and have them update automatically, and tell me when there
are
 new versions of just the apps I run, not every mail app out there.
 
 Thanks.
 
 -Daniel

You could use portupgrade with the --noexecute option to figure out
which ports have a newer version.  There may be a better way, but a line
like:

# portupgrade --noexecute openssl* | grep Upgrading
---  Upgrading 'openssl-0.9.6g_1' to 'openssl-0.9.6h'
(security/openssl)
#

...let's you know that you could upgrade from your current version of
0.9.6g_1 to 0.9.6h.  You could use this output to do various things.
Alternatively, but maybe not wisely, if you want specific ports to be
updated unconditionally via a cron job just use an appropriate
portupgrade command in your script.

Thanks!  The funny thing is, I do in fact already use their monitoring,
however, I never noticed that utility to upload the output from

but rather a secondary benefit of having a tool to update specific
ports.

Sort of.  Standard input can be seekable.  When you redirect it using
something like:

The blah program can seek its stdin.  Pipes on the other hand are not

Also, for each archive, the first few items are extracted properly and then

Many thanks in advance,

windows ftp defaults to ascii more, not binary, so its adds a \r to each
\n - you might save your tar files if you upload ascii to get them
stripped out again.

Would it be possible to use a script to achieve the same outcome?

No, you don't know which \rs have been added.

I've tried re-uploading/downlaoding the files in multiple modes, to
no avail.

It should work with binary transfer.

Also, I ftp'd these files TO a Windows box FROM my BSD box, so I
believe that the default mode for that would be binary?

What does ftp say?

Are there any other reasons this may have happened? Any way to test?

I can't think of any other. It's a traditional problem. You can test
by comparing the size of the archives on each side.
